Review: Gets the job done!!! - If you're a storage junkie or do media editing (or game dev, in my case) this thing is a lifesaver. Might sound paranoid, but any time you are running electricity through a computer part (however little it may be), you're still "putting miles" on something. With many iterations of my game's source files, videos I edit, or other projects I need a safe place to do local backup in addition to cloud backup...as cloud retrieval can be slow. You can leave a drive docked, or do your backup/transfer and then stow it in an anti-static bag or elsewhere. This is particularly great for SSDs since it has proper guide slots for both 2.5" and 3.5" drives. It's pretty smooth and has a power button on the back so the drive can be disengaged before you swap it out. Another use option that is a *Your Mileage May Vary* scenario, is using this for swapping in and out SSDs with installed game files on them. I have limited space inside my PC case and also like playing games on various PCs I have (HTPC or a laptop) and storing Steam or other game client installer files on here means you can simply take it over to the other computer using this dock to play the games. I will add, it need to be a USB 3.0 or faster port to utilize it properly, but the games load and run perfectly fine for me with this method. Saves you from excessive writes or installs on multiple drives and is a great quality of life hack. So far it's worked very well for me and the price is definitely fair for what you're getting. If any of the above sounds good, give this dock a try.
Review: Functional and versatile! - My old computer died months ago. Thanks to this device I was able to recover the data on that computer's OS drive. I like that I can turn the drive on and off (something that seems to be lacking on most regular USB external drives). The only qualm I had with it was a product of my own ignorance - for those who aren't familiar with eSATA, it's a high-speed data cable similar but not identical to USB. This "toaster" apparently requires that all three cables - power, USB, and eSATA - be connected in order to allow access to the drive. If you don't have a newer model of computer, you may not be able to make use of this (then again, I doubt you'll be purchasing something like this if you aren't having a problem with one or replacing one). All in all, I think it was worth it for the money (though if I were planning to still use the drive as an OS drive for some hairbrained reason, I would've bought a permanent case instead of this).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice external drive mount
*by C***S on July 8, 2009*

I have become a big fan of external drive enclosures now that I have multiple computers in multiple locations. They are nearly as fast as internal drives, and far more convenient for a huge number of uses. The most obvious use is backing up data, for which this open style of drive enclosure is perfect. It is also great for an advanced "sneakernet" - transferring files from one computer to another when there are too many files or file size is too large for USB flash drives. The construction is mostly medium weight plastic, and power cord and USB cable are included. It works easily on Windows or Ubuntu Linux computers I have tried. It uses standard SATA internal drives which must be formatted before use. One more nice thing about this style of drive is that one can use regular internal drives, which are cheaper than all-in-one external drives, and you can swap drives out for unlimited storage. I have only had this drive for a few weeks, so I can't comment on longevity, but that again is a strong point of this kind of drive - you can simply move the hard drive to another enclosure, and have your data back if the drive enclosure ever fails. So far, I have found no reason not to recommend this enclosure.
